Yenko Hood Tachometer

Steve,
No, never tried, but i know I have a couple 990A's around here. To be honest, I still think its the tach itself, but i made a bracket that fits behind the plastic dash cluster to keep the weight of the tach from eventually cracking the housing, and it makes changing the tach nearly impossible without removing the entire cluster from the car... which is a bummer, because i now have about a dozen other tachs i could try if i could just easily remove the one that's on there lookin' pretty but not doing anything.

I think I will just keep the original style points since I still have the original distributor with the correct date code on it. My original Dixco hood tachometer still works also so it's probably best to let things stay the way they were designed to be. Let me know if anyone has any luck getting their tachometer to work on one of the new systems and what you had to do to get it to work.

Just keep an extra set of points and a book of matches in the glove and you'll never get stuck !

I've got the Pertronix set-up in one of my cars and the stock Knee Knocker Tach works fine.......I wouldn't do this again as the Pertronix unit has a certain Lag time in the car starting......it seems to take about 5 seconds for the unit to energize itself...........I've learned to turn the key on and wait ........then start......it's a little thing that becomes annoying......other than that .....No Problems............Yet......
